ASLA 2026 Student Awards: Learn Secrets for Creating a Winning Project
What makes a student project stand out to a national jury? How do you move from a strong studio project to a compelling, award-ready submission?
Join ASLA for a candid, practical conversation with Student Awards jurors, past winners, and faculty advisors who have guided students through successful submissions. This webinar goes beyond rules and requirements to focus on how jurors actually experience and evaluate student work.
You’ll hear directly from those on both sides of the table about:
- What jurors look for when reviewing student projects
- Common pitfalls that weaken otherwise strong submissions
- How to clearly communicate design intent, process, and impact
- Strategies for editing, sequencing, and presenting work for clarity and persuasion
- How faculty mentorship can strengthen a submission without overshadowing student voice
Whether you’re a student preparing your first submission or a faculty member advising multiple candidates, this session will offer concrete guidance you can use immediately.
